Branches - wide or high?
When a plant grows, it can put it's strength into growing up or growing out. There are people who grow 'tall' by being really good at one particular thing. They tower over others in that area, but they don't necessarily have a wide canopy.
Other people grow wide. They spread out, producing many branches. They may not be as tall as the other plants, but they have a large canopy. They try their hand at lots of different things and can bring those things together in new projects. Height may come, but it takes longer.
Neither is 'right' or preferable. They are just different ways of approaching life.
What a fascinating observation, Tracy, and your visual is a delight. It's organic and beautiful in every way, just like us peeps!
